Waterproofing Service in Calgary

---

 Let’s face it – leaky basement floods are the worst nightmare of every homeowner. The damp and dark reality of a wet basement that is flooded from the outside water leaking in, does not have to be your reality. Whether you had your basement flooded once upon a time – or you want to prevent that from happening and are just taking precautions, let waterproofing contractors like us introduce you to basement waterproofing in Central Alberta. 

 Exterior waterproofing (or sometimes known as external waterproofing) repairs your leaky basement from the outside of your home by exposing the foundation walls and applying the necessary waterproofing material to create a foundation waterproofing system that will redirect and disperse water away from your foundation walls and away from your home.

 It is important to have an exterior waterproofing done on your home and there is no better time to have it done than when the foundation walls are under construction. Waterproofing newer homes is a service that we offer to contractors and new construction companies and RCC will utilize the exterior waterproofing process on your job site to fully waterproof the foundation walls.

 Crawlspace Encapsulation is another waterproofing service that we offer to customer homes that do have a crawl space. It is possible to have a leaky or wet basement if your crawl space is no properly waterproofed. While it is more common for older homes to have a crawl space, RCC Waterproofing has plenty of experience doing this type of waterproofing job and we are a waterproofing contractor that will do a proper crawl space encapsulation 

 A structural crack is where the foundation wall feels uneven or the width of the crack is about ¼” or wider. Some structural foundation cracks will require engineer specifications in order to do a basement foundation repair. The obvious thing to look for is major cracks on the foundation wall. A horizontal crack means that there is a problem. Though all cracks on the basement wall are generally bad, but horizontal cracks are serious. Horizontal cracks occur with the soil [mainly clay] constantly expanding and contracting putting the basement wall under a lot of pressure.

 Interior waterproofing (or sometimes known as internal waterproofing) repairs your basement leaks from the inside of your home and is the best solution for a damp or wet basement. When your basement becomes damp and moist, it is best to have an interior waterproofing done in your basement to prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which will create harmful smells and bacteria that affect your health. This is also one of the waterproofing solutions that will help take care of hydrostatic pressure that builds up and causes a wet basement.
